A Galloway Christmas: family, love and basketball

Detroit — Christmas always has been special for Pistons guard Langston Galloway. Beyond the gifts, it’s a time to spend with family and to be around basketball.

Family, love and basketball.

If there were a Galloway family crest, those would be three of the essential elements on the shield. When he was about 7 or 8 years old, Galloway got his first real basketball hoop, a step up from the plastic model he had.
